 図9は、図8を矢印IXに沿って見た側面図である。図10は、図8を矢印Xに沿って見た側面図である。本実施形態では、左右のガイド穴430L,430Rは略同じ高さに配置されているものの、左側のガイドピン75Lが右側のガイドピン75Rよりも長くなるように(下方に突出するように)構成されている。このため、ブーム5を徐々に下げていくと、図9及び図10に示されるように、先に左側のガイドピン75Lが左側のガイド穴430Lに挿通され、更にブーム5を下げていくと、反対側(右側)のガイドピン75Rが右側のガイド穴430Rに挿通される。 FIG. 9 is a side view of FIG. 8 as viewed along the arrow IX. FIG. 10 is a side view of FIG. 8 as viewed along the arrow X. In the present embodiment, the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R are arranged at substantially the same height, but the left guide pin 75L is configured to be longer than the right guide pin 75R (so that it protrudes downward). Has been done. Therefore, when the boom 5 is gradually lowered, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the left guide pin 75L is first inserted into the left guide hole 430L, and when the boom 5 is further lowered, the boom 5 is further lowered. The guide pin 75R on the opposite side (right side) is inserted into the guide hole 430R on the right side.
 左右のガイドピン75L,75Rが左右のガイド穴430L,430Rにそれぞれ挿通されると、ブーム5(アダプタ7)のおよその位置が決まる。より詳しくは、アッパーフレーム31のセンターセクション4に形成された連結用ピン孔43LQ,43RQとアダプタ7に形成された左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Aとの前後方向および左右方向の相対位置が合致し、センターセクション4に形成された連結用ピン孔43LP,43RPとアダプタ7に形成された左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Bとの前後方向および左右方向の相対位置が合致するように、センターセクション4に対するアダプタ7の相対位置が決定される(拘束される)。その後、ブーム5を更に下げていくと、最終的には、上述した位置決めピン79(図8参照)が左右のブラケット450L,450Rの凹部に嵌合する。詳細には、位置決めピン79の胴部のうちピン孔78L,78Rから左右外側に突出した部分(両端部、係合ピン)がブラケット450L,450Rの凹部にそれぞれ面接触して嵌合する。これにより、左右一対のブラケット450L,450R(位置決め部)が、アダプタ7の位置決めピン79の両端部をそれぞれ上方から前記凹部に受け入れることで、アダプタ7が少なくとも下方向に移動することを阻止し、ブーム5の最終的な位置が決まる。より詳しくは、アッパーフレーム31のセンターセクション4に形成された連結用ピン孔43LQ,43RQとアダプタ7に形成された左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Aとの前後方向、左右方向および上下方向の相対位置が合致し、センターセクション4に形成された連結用ピン孔43LP,43RPとアダプタ7に形成された左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Bとの前後方向、左右方向および上下方向の相対位置が合致するように、センターセクション4に対するアダプタ7の相対位置が決定される(拘束される)。そして、連結用ピン孔43LQ,43RQと左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Aとに不図示のアダプタ連結ピンがそれぞれ挿入され、連結用ピン孔43LP,43RPと左右一対の連結用ピン孔7Bとに不図示のアダプタ連結ピンがそれぞれ挿入されると、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31に固定される。この結果、ブーム5がアッパーフレーム31に回動可能に支持される。 When the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R are inserted into the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R, respectively, the approximate position of the boom 5 (adapter 7) is determined. More specifically, the relative positions of the connecting pin holes 43LQ and 43RQ formed in the center section 4 of the upper frame 31 and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7A formed in the adapter 7 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction match. , With respect to the center section 4 so that the relative positions of the connecting pin holes 43LP and 43RP formed in the center section 4 and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7B formed in the adapter 7 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction match. The relative position of the adapter 7 is determined (constrained). After that, when the boom 5 is further lowered, the positioning pin 79 (see FIG. 8) described above is finally fitted into the recesses of the left and right brackets 450L and 450R. Specifically, of the body portion of the positioning pin 79, the portions (both ends, engaging pins) protruding to the left and right outward from the pin holes 78L and 78R are brought into surface contact with the recesses of the brackets 450L and 450R, respectively. As a result, the pair of left and right brackets 450L and 450R (positioning portions) receive both ends of the positioning pins 79 of the adapter 7 into the recesses from above, thereby preventing the adapter 7 from moving at least downward. The final position of the boom 5 is determined. More specifically, the relative positions of the connecting pin holes 43LQ and 43RQ formed in the center section 4 of the upper frame 31 and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7A formed in the adapter 7 in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, and the up-down direction. Are matched, and the relative positions of the connecting pin holes 43LP and 43RP formed in the center section 4 and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7B formed in the adapter 7 are matched in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, and the up-down direction. In addition, the relative position of the adapter 7 with respect to the center section 4 is determined (constrained). Then, adapter connecting pins (not shown) are inserted into the connecting pin holes 43LQ and 43RQ and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7A, respectively, and the connecting pin holes 43LP and 43RP and the pair of left and right connecting pin holes 7B are not inserted. When each of the illustrated adapter connecting pins is inserted, the adapter 7 is fixed to the upper frame 31. As a result, the boom 5 is rotatably supported by the upper frame 31.
 また、ブーム5をアッパーフレーム31から取り外す場合、図示しないクレーン等を用いてブーム5を徐々に持ち上げていく。ブーム5を徐々に持ち上げていくと、ブーム5に装着されたアダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れる時点がある。なお、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れる時点とは、アダプタ7のアダプタ本体700の左右側板と、センターセクション4を構成する左右の縦板43L,43Rとが機械幅方向(左右方向)において重ならなくなった時点をいう。 When removing the boom 5 from the upper frame 31, the boom 5 is gradually lifted using a crane or the like (not shown). When the boom 5 is gradually lifted, there is a time point when the adapter 7 attached to the boom 5 is separated from the upper frame 31. The time when the adapter 7 separates from the upper frame 31 is when the left and right side plates of the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7 and the left and right vertical plates 43L and 43R constituting the center section 4 overlap in the machine width direction (left and right direction). It means the time when it disappears.
 図11は、本実施形態に係る油圧ショベル1のアダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れた時点の状態を機械左側から見た側面図である。図12は、本実施形態に係る油圧ショベル1のアダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31に取り付けられた状態を機械左側から見た側面図である。本実施形態では、図11に示されるように、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れた時点において、左側のガイドピン75Lは、左側のガイド穴430Lに挿通された状態を維持している。なお、図示は省略するが、反対側(右側)のガイドピン75Rも右側のガイド穴430Rに挿通された状態を維持している。すなわち、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れた時点において、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rは左右のガイド穴430L,430Rに挿通された状態を維持する長さで構成されている。なお、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から脱離される場合に、左右方向から見てアダプタ本体700の下端部がセンターセクション4の左右一対の縦板43L,43Rの上端部に合致したときに、前記左右一対のガイドピン75L,75Rのうちの少なくとも一方のガイドピンが、左右一対の縦板43L,43Rのガイド穴430L,430Rのうちの少なくとも一方のガイド穴に挿入されているように、左右一対のガイドピン75L,75Rの長さが設定されていてもよい。 FIG. 11 is a side view of the state when the adapter 7 of the hydraulic excavator 1 according to the present embodiment is separated from the upper frame 31 as viewed from the left side of the machine. FIG. 12 is a side view of the state in which the adapter 7 of the hydraulic excavator 1 according to the present embodiment is attached to the upper frame 31 as viewed from the left side of the machine. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the adapter 7 is separated from the upper frame 31, the left guide pin 75L is maintained in a state of being inserted into the left guide hole 430L. Although not shown, the guide pin 75R on the opposite side (right side) is also maintained in a state of being inserted into the guide hole 430R on the right side. That is, when the adapter 7 is separated from the upper frame 31, the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R are configured to have a length that maintains the state of being inserted into the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R. When the adapter 7 is detached from the upper frame 31, when the lower end portion of the adapter body 700 is aligned with the upper end portions of the pair of left and right vertical plates 43L and 43R of the center section 4 when viewed from the left and right direction, the left and right portions are described. A pair of left and right guide pins so that at least one of the pair of guide pins 75L and 75R is inserted into at least one of the guide holes 430L and 430R of the pair of left and right vertical plates 43L and 43R. The lengths of the guide pins 75L and 75R may be set.
 また、図12に示されるように、左側のガイド部431Lは、側面視(左側方から見た場合)において油圧ショベル1の機械外側(左側)から視認可能な位置に配置される。詳細には、左側のガイド部431Lは、前後方向に関して、図示しないキャビンが設置されるチルトデッキ81と作動油タンク83との間に配置される。この際、作業者がガイド部431Lを左側方から視認できれば、ガイドピン75Lの挿入状態を充分確認可能であるが、作業者の目線から見て、ガイド部431Lに形成されたガイド穴430Lが更に視認可能であれば、ガイドピン75Lの挿入作業を更に容易かつ確実に行うことができる。なお、右側のガイド部431Rについても同様である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the guide portion 431L on the left side is arranged at a position visible from the outside (left side) of the machine of the hydraulic excavator 1 in a side view (when viewed from the left side). Specifically, the left guide portion 431L is arranged in the front-rear direction between the tilt deck 81 in which a cabin (not shown) is installed and the hydraulic oil tank 83. At this time, if the operator can visually recognize the guide portion 431L from the left side, the inserted state of the guide pin 75L can be sufficiently confirmed, but from the operator's point of view, the guide hole 430L formed in the guide portion 431L is further increased. If it is visible, the insertion work of the guide pin 75L can be performed more easily and reliably. The same applies to the guide portion 431R on the right side.
 また、本実施形態では、図2に示すように、ガイド部431Lの左右方向の反対側には、アッパーフレーム31上の構造物85が配置されている。このため、ガイド部431Rは前記構造物85よりも前方に配置されており、上記と同様に、油圧ショベル1の右側方からガイド部431Rが視認可能である。なお、ガイド部431Lは、連結用ピン孔43LPの後方に配置され(図3)、ガイド部431Rは連結用ピン孔43RPの前方に配置されている(図4)。なお、連結用ピン孔43LP、43RPは同じ軸線上に配置されている。 Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the structure 85 on the upper frame 31 is arranged on the opposite side of the guide portion 431L in the left-right direction. Therefore, the guide portion 431R is arranged in front of the structure 85, and the guide portion 431R can be visually recognized from the right side of the hydraulic excavator 1 in the same manner as described above. The guide portion 431L is arranged behind the connecting pin hole 43LP (FIG. 3), and the guide portion 431R is arranged in front of the connecting pin hole 43RP (FIG. 4). The connecting pin holes 43LP and 43RP are arranged on the same axis.
 以上、本実施形態では、縦板43Lのうち外側(左側)を向く面に配置されたガイド部431Lにガイド穴430L(図2及び図3参照)が形成され、縦板43Rのうち外側(右側)を向く面に配置されたガイド部431Rにガイド穴430R(図4参照)が形成されている。また、アダプタ7のアダプタ本体700の左側板のうち外側(左側)を向く面にガイドピン75L(図5参照)が下方に延びるように設けられ、アダプタ7のアダプタ本体700の右側板のうち外側(右側)を向く面にガイドピン75R(図7参照)が下方に延びるように設けられている。このため、アダプタ7をセンターセクション4に取り付ける際に、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rと左右のガイド穴430L,430Rとの挿通状況を機械側方からそれぞれ視認することができる。したがって、センターセクション4に対してブーム5(アダプタ7)を取り付ける際に両者を容易に位置合わせすることが可能である。なお、左右のガイドピン75L、75Rは、アダプタ7のアダプタ本体700の下面部などから突出するものでもよい。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the guide hole 430L (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is formed in the guide portion 431L arranged on the surface facing the outside (left side) of the vertical plate 43L, and the outside (right side) of the vertical plate 43R. A guide hole 430R (see FIG. 4) is formed in the guide portion 431R arranged on the surface facing the). Further, a guide pin 75L (see FIG. 5) is provided so as to extend downward on the surface of the left side plate of the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7 facing the outside (left side), and the outside of the right side plate of the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7 is provided. A guide pin 75R (see FIG. 7) is provided so as to extend downward on the surface facing (right side). Therefore, when the adapter 7 is attached to the center section 4, the insertion status of the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R and the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R can be visually recognized from the side of the machine. Therefore, when the boom 5 (adapter 7) is attached to the center section 4, both can be easily aligned. The left and right guide pins 75L and 75R may protrude from the lower surface of the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7.
 また、本実施形態では、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rが左右のガイド穴430L,430Rにそれぞれ挿通されると、ブーム5のおよその位置(前後方向および左右方向の位置)が決まる。そして、位置決めピン79の胴部のうちピン孔78L,78Rから左右外側に突出した部分(係合ピン)がブラケット450L,450Rの凹部にそれぞれ上方から嵌合すると、ブーム5の最終的な位置(前後方向、左右方向および上下方向の位置)が決まる。すなわち、本実施形態では、ブーム5が2段階で順に位置決めされる構成となっている。よって、ブームが1段階で位置決めされる構成のものに比べ、より簡易にブーム5を位置合わせすることが可能である。 Further, in the present embodiment, when the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R are inserted into the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R, respectively, the approximate positions (positions in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction) of the boom 5 are determined. Then, when the portions (engagement pins) protruding from the pin holes 78L and 78R to the left and right outside of the body of the positioning pin 79 are fitted into the recesses of the brackets 450L and 450R from above, the final position of the boom 5 ( Positions in the front-back direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction) are determined. That is, in the present embodiment, the boom 5 is positioned in order in two stages. Therefore, it is possible to align the boom 5 more easily than the one in which the boom is positioned in one step.
 また、本実施形態では、左右のガイド穴430L,430Rは略同じ高さに配置される一方、左側のガイドピン75Lが右側のガイドピン75Rよりも長くなるように構成され、より下方に延びている。このため、ブーム5を徐々に下げていくと、図9及び図10に示されるように、先にガイドピン75Lがガイド穴430Lに挿通され、更にブーム5を下げていくと、反対側のガイドピン75Rがガイド穴430Rに挿通されるように、左右一対のガイドピン75R,75Lおよび左右一対のガイド部のガイド穴430R,430Lの互いの相対位置が設定されている。したがって、ガイドピン75L,75Rがガイド穴430L,430Rに同時に挿通されるものに比べて、挿通作業が容易になり、作業性が高い。 Further, in the present embodiment, the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R are arranged at substantially the same height, while the left guide pin 75L is configured to be longer than the right guide pin 75R and extends further downward. There is. Therefore, when the boom 5 is gradually lowered, the guide pin 75L is first inserted into the guide hole 430L as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, and when the boom 5 is further lowered, the guide on the opposite side is inserted. The relative positions of the pair of left and right guide pins 75R and 75L and the pair of left and right guide holes 430R and 430L are set so that the pin 75R is inserted into the guide hole 430R. Therefore, the insertion work is easier and the workability is higher than that in which the guide pins 75L and 75R are inserted into the guide holes 430L and 430R at the same time.
 また、本実施形態では、アダプタ7のアダプタ本体700がアッパーフレーム31から離れた時点において、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rは、左右のガイド穴430L,430Rにそれぞれ挿通された状態を維持している。すなわち、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rが、左右の前記ガイド穴430L,430Rに挿入された状態で、左右方向から見てアダプタ7のアダプタ本体700がセンターセクション4の左右一対の縦板43L,43Rから上方に離間するように、左右一対のガイドピン75L,75Rの長さが設定されている。このため、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れたことに起因するアダプタ7の荷振れを抑制し、周辺に配置されたタンクやガードにアダプタ7が接触するのを防止することが可能である。なお、上記において、アダプタ7がアッパーフレーム31から離れた時点において、左右のガイドピン75L,75Rのうちの一方のガイドピンが、左右のガイド穴430L,430Rのうち対応するガイド穴に挿通された状態が維持されてもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, when the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7 is separated from the upper frame 31, the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R are maintained in a state of being inserted into the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R, respectively. .. That is, with the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R inserted into the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R, the adapter body 700 of the adapter 7 is a pair of left and right vertical plates 43L and 43R of the center section 4 when viewed from the left and right. The lengths of the pair of left and right guide pins 75L and 75R are set so as to be separated upward from the above. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the load swing of the adapter 7 due to the adapter 7 being separated from the upper frame 31, and prevent the adapter 7 from coming into contact with the tanks and guards arranged in the vicinity. In the above, when the adapter 7 is separated from the upper frame 31, one of the left and right guide pins 75L and 75R is inserted into the corresponding guide hole among the left and right guide holes 430L and 430R. The state may be maintained.
 また、本実施形態によれば、左側のガイド部431Lは、前後方向に関して、図示しないキャビンが設置されるチルトデッキ81と作動油タンク83との間に配置される。このため、作業者は、少なくとも左側のガイドピン75Lに関しては左側のガイド部431Lのガイド穴430Lへの挿通状況を機械側方から確実に視認することが可能である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the guide portion 431L on the left side is arranged between the tilt deck 81 in which the cabin (not shown) is installed and the hydraulic oil tank 83 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the operator can reliably visually recognize the insertion status of the left guide portion 431L into the guide hole 430L with respect to at least the left guide pin 75L from the side of the machine.
